What to do if I have a pre-bulit cabinet

Hi, everyone! I am new to theses message boards and would like to ask some of you experts what I should do with my pre-built cabinet.
The cabinet I have wasn't specifically designed for arcade games, it was one of those upright jackpot machines. However, it still somewhat fits the profile of an arcade cabinet.
The only problem I am having is that I have bought an X-Arcade Dual-Joystick controller, and it seems to be a little bit too big for the cabinet :(
So my question to you is, What should I do to make this cabinet fit my specific needs

P.S. This is going to be a MAME cab and I will be running either Maximus Arcade or Hyperspin if that helps any!

Thanks in advance!!

Post some pictures of the cabinet.

Fitting a x arcade control panel to a cab usually involves cutting the CP area of the original cab and the addition of supports or a cutout area where the x arcade control panel can reside.   Post some pics of the cab and we will be better able to suggest the best way to go.

Marsupial:

dismount the x-arcade and make your own CP. You'll be glad you did.

the controls are great, but having the x-arcade on an existing cabinet always look like you mashed up two things that don't belong together...

I personally have a japanese cabaret cab that was intended for quizz games and I am in the process of converting it to an arcade cabinet. I'll just put controls on the current panel after alterations.

I will post some pictures soon. I would love to build my own CP, but my dad is helping me build this, and he says we aren't skilled enough to do woodwork, hints the pre-built cab
